0000-00-00 until 0000-00-00
Beltway
Washington, DC, USA United States of America

Beltway, a quarterly on-line journal of poetry by authors who live or work in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area, inaugurates its first issue. Issue One features a generous selection of work by four authors: Richard McCann, director of the graduate program in creative writing at The American University; Christina Daub, director of the Plum Writers Retreats; Merrill Leffler, publisher of Dryad Press; and Valerie Jean, winner of the Artscape Poetry Award.

Beltway highlights the healthy diversity of poetry styles within the nations capitol. Each issue will present a selection of poems by four or five authors, ranging from well established, nationally-known poets to those who have yet to publish a first book. Three issues each year will be edited by Kim Roberts, author of The Wishbone Galaxy and recipient of grants from the DC Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. A fourth issue will be guest edited.

A Poetry News section, updated monthly, lists book publications by DC authors, new issue releases from DC literary journals, and area workshops and readings. Beltway authors are paired with visual artists from the region, whose works are reproduced on-line.

Beltway is located at www.washingtonart.com, a web site designed and maintained by painter Kathy Keler. For more information, please send an e-mail to Kim Roberts at ellipse@erols.com.
